DEBRA Ireland is the national charity established in 1988 to provide patient support services and to drive research into treatments and cures for those living with the genetic skin condition, epidermolysis bullosa (EB). This is a very distressing and painful condition which causes the skin layers and internal body linings to blister and wound at the slightest touch. Due to the presence of constant wounds, patients with a severe form of EB are susceptible to a very aggressive form of skin cancer, from as early as their teenage years. DEBRA Ireland is striving to end this heartache and pain by funding high level research programmes to find treatments and cures for EB and skin cancer.
